Welcome

After a sexual assault, you have many options. Understanding those options and choosing which are best for you is often confusing. The process can feel overwhelming, complicated, and unwelcoming. You are not alone. Information, support, and resources are available to help you find your path to healing and justice.

If you need to talk to someone immediately, 24-hour hotlines staffed by knowledgeable, trained counselors are available throughout the state. The Massachusetts Executive Office of Health and Human Services also maintains a complete list of rape crisis centers with their contact information, including hotline numbers.

You are not alone.
You deserve to know your options.
